Olszewski has barely warmed up his seat in his office before telling us that he wants to raise taxes and fees. On the hit list in his coming speech:
1. A 13% hike (3.2% from 2.83%) on income tax.
2. $3.50/month on your cell bill.
3. New cable fee
4. A 25% hike on hotel taxes (10% from 8%), and impose that on Airbnb-style rentals.
5. A new tax on residential and commercial development.
Among all the wonderful, flowery things that these "revenue enhancements" will bring us, he seeks to create three new high-level positions in the county government. A chief diversity officer, an opioid strategy coordinator, and a sustainability officer who would address climate change.
This is hot garbage. I've already written the County Council and I hope that you do the same. Find your county rep here: https://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/countycouncil/index.html
